For your protection, your Gateway is pre-set at the factory
to use WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption
for your wireless network. This is the best setting for most
users and provides maximum security.
If you have an old wireless device that does not support WPA
or WPA2, click the Change button below the Lock icon. This
allows you to change the security type to the backwards-

If your Gateway is subsequently reset to the factory default settings,
the settings printed on the label will again be in effect.
If your Gateway fails to connect, follow the troubleshooting steps in
